Confidentiality checklist

A confidentiality checklist in software development is a tool or document used to assess and ensure that appropriate measures are in place to protect the confidentiality of sensitive information during the development of software applications. It helps software development teams identify potential vulnerabilities and implement necessary safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or leakage of confidential data.
